Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SCHURTER 4430.1698 are identified through parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must match identically:

• Current Rating: 15A
• Voltage Rating - AC: 240V
• Voltage Rating - DC: 60V
• Breaker Type: Thermal
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Number of Poles: 2
• Actuator Type: Rocker
• Series: TA45
• Illumination: Orange
• Illumination Voltage (Nominal): 110V
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The SCHURTER 4430.3542 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts are manufactured by SCHURTER Inc., belong to the TA45 series, and carry identical electrical ratings and mechanical configurations. This equivalence ensures functional interchangeability in panel-mounted thermal circuit protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SCHURTER 4430.1698 and 4430.3542 are active products with full regulatory compliance across CSA C22.2 No 235, EN 60934, GB 17701, IEC 60934, and UL1077 standards. Selection between these equivalent parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The 4430.1698 currently maintains higher stock levels at 1060 units, while the 4430.3542 has 970 units available.

The identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and certification profile ensure that either part can be selected without modification to circuit design or panel layout specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 4430.3542 be used as a direct replacement for the 4430.1698?

A: Yes. The 4430.3542 is a parametric equivalent with identical current rating (15A), voltage ratings (240V AC / 60V DC), breaker type (thermal), mounting configuration (panel mount), pole count (2), actuator type (rocker), illumination specification (orange at 110V nominal), and regulatory certifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: current rating (15A), AC voltage rating (240V), DC voltage rating (60V), breaker type (thermal), mounting type (panel mount), number of poles (2), actuator type (rocker), series designation (TA45), illumination color (orange), illumination voltage (110V nominal), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3). All parameters must match identically.

Q: Are both parts certified to the same standards?

A: Both the 4430.1698 and 4430.3542 are certified to CSA C22.2 No 235, EN 60934, GB 17701, IEC 60934, and UL1077. Certification equivalence ensures compliance with international electrical safety and performance requirements.
